ReplyI have been diagnosis with basal cell and would like to prevent a recurrance. Could you tell me the best plan of action to take. I could not thank you enough.
ReplyHi Daphne-
I will assume that you have been diagnosed with non-melanoma skin cancer- basel cell carcinoma. The rate of relapse and of basel cell becoming melanoma is quite low, even if you do nothing beyond staying out of the sun. But I agree with you that it is a good idea to pursue therapies to reduce your risk of relapse assuming these therapies are relatively inexpensive, easy and non-toxic. Which they are.
For the record, I too had a basel cell removed and I follow these therapies to reduce my own risk…
I will cut and paste several supplements below. I take most of this list. I order through Amazon. I will link the study citing these “botanicals” below. Also consider lifestyle therapies such as staying out of the sun, sun screen, etc.
Tea Polyphenols, Grape seed proanthocyanidins (GSPs), Resveratrol, Silymarin, Lupeol, Curcumin, Ginger, Genistein,
Polypodium leucotomos, a fern from Central America, has been shown to protect the skin from UV ray damage. According to clinical studies, supplementing with the herb may decrease your risk of sunburn.3
Vitamin D research is showing it may help to protect against the development and recurrence of melanoma.4,5
Green tea inhibits melanoma cell proliferation in cell culture and animal studies.6,7
Vitamin E forms part of the skin’s natural barrier, kind of like built-in sunscreen.8

Let me know if you have any questions.
